OKAY, SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY UP WITH THE WATER HERE IN TAIWAN
So I’m sitting here in the lounge trying to blog however this lame internet REALLY is NG (no good) that I have to type everything onto a Word doc and upload this all later when I have better connection.
Sigh. There’s so many connections available but none offer internet access…it’s like my previous blog (if you read it) how you can’t have 3981479141894 friends and expect to have a good connection with them…like so, these internet connections are WEAK! Gahaha I’m so witty.
Okay it’s almost 8 (I spent most of my morning recapping on Day 1), I shall update later on.
In lecture right now...

Internet is so hard to connect to and stay connected too...so my blogs might be choppy.
My dining table is hilarious...whenever there's some exotic looking dish, boys are always first to go. Then there's always some completely random joke that comes out of it. That's what she said...we're so immature. Eating is such a social experience. I love how we barely knew (b/c now we know) each other...even names...lol (we had to go around a couple times saying our names before remembering) but are completely at home with eating out of the same dish with our chopsticks. Family style ftw. Yeah, there are spoons, but we use chopsticks to eat our tatter tots!

Okay back to blogging about Day 2.
So Day 2's lecture was 6 hours...long. :| Longest day of my life...but I learned a lot. Our lecturer really knew her stuff but I felt like a lot of the student volunteers felt offended because she rarely praised any of our work. The lecturers also emphasized a lot about not using our Chinese because our goal is English...PURELY ENGLISH. This was really hard for me to swallow because I guess...out of selfishness, I also wanted to come Taiwan with the intent of improving my Chinese. :3 But we'll see how it goes.
A lot of pressure has been put on my team as well because we were just informed that the governor and people of such high, respectable statuses, were coming to view our performance at the opening ceremony presentation at the school. Also, media and press are scheduled to cover us at the event. ._."
